Zimmer® Natural Nail® System

The Zimmer Natural Nail System is a next generation of intramedullary
nails. They are characterized by their anatomic shape, which is
intended to replicate the natural anatomic shape of the various long
bones in the human skeleton. These nails have been designed for
specific applications to help restore the shape of the fractured bone
to its natural, pre-injured state. Key characteristics of the Zimmer
Natural Nail System are:

Anterior bows in all of the femoral nails to match the natural
anatomic shape

StabiliZe Technology in all of the long
nails for solid interface between nail and bone, and stable fixation
even in poor bone quality.

Different diameters and lengths
available to match the anatomy of various patients

Spiral
or Straight flutes to moderate stiffness and facilitate
insertion

The Zimmer Natural Nail Cephalomedullary helps restore the shape of
the damaged bone when treating intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric
fractures. This intramedullary nail system is made up of short and
long nails in a variety of diameters and lengths to accommodate
varying patient anatomy. The configuration of each nail’s shape and
dimensions allows it to be used in very specific applications to
closely replicate the pre-injury state of the fractured bone.

Anterior bow matches natural anatomic shape

Left and
right versions available

Small proximal section minimizes
bone removal

Dynamic and static distal screw options
designed to maintain length and alignment during healing

Helps restore natural anatomic shape to fractured long bones

The Zimmer® Natural Nail® Antegrade helps
restore the natural anatomic shape of the femur when treating femoral
shaft fractures. This antegrade intramedullary nail system is
available in a variety of diameters and lengths with varying anterior
bows to accommodate varying patient anatomy. Specific nail options are
offered for either greater trochanter entry or piriformis fossa entry.
The configuration of each nail’s shape and dimensions allows it to be
used in very specific applications to closely replicate the pre-injury
state of the fractured bone.

Left and
right versions available

Greater trochanter nail has 3.1°
lateralization

Four distal locking options in two different
planes

Recon or interlocking options

Versatile hole
options treat a variety of fractures, including very proximal and
very distal fractures

Helps restore natural anatomic shape to fractured bones

The Zimmer® Natural Nail® Retrograde helps
restore the natural anatomic shape of the femur when treating femoral
shaft fractures. This retrograde intramedullary nail system is made up
of short and long nails in a variety of diameters and lengths to
accommodate varying patient anatomy. It offers versatile hole options
to treat a wide range of injuries, including distal femur fractures.
The configuration of each nail’s shape and dimensions allows it to be
used in specific applications to closely mimic the pre-injury state of
the fractured bone.

StabiliZe
Technology (in long nails) provides solid nail-bone interface and
stable fixation. The system is indicated for fractures in osteopenic
and osteoporotic bone.

The Zimmer® Natural Nail® Tibia helps restore
the natural anatomy of the tibia when treating tibial shaft fractures.
This intramedullary nail system offers nails in a variety of diameters
and lengths to accommodate varying patient anatomy. The configuration
of each nail’s shape and dimensions allows it to be used in specific
applications to closely mimic the pre-injury state of the fractured bone.

Distal anterior bow of 2̊ matches natural anatomic shape

StabiliZe Technology (in long nails) provides solid nail-bone
interface and stable fixation. The system is indicated for fractures
in osteopenic and osteoporotic bone.

10° Herzog curve and
60mm proximal body

Cross section with three flutes provides
an excellent fit in the canal

Specific screw trajectories
to help capture best quality bone

Four proximal screw
options, including static and dynamic lateral-to-medial screws

Three distal screw options, including two lateral-to-medial and
one anterior-to-posterior screws

Laboratory testing is not necessarily indicative of clinical performance.
